Amphion AC – Hollow Guitar. Amphion AC is our full-size hollow-body, single cutaway guitar with classic lines, clearly inspired by our Eumelia.
It features our Fremediti patented suspension tailpiece, custom-made from titanium alloy. The tailpiece includes six independent spring suspensions—each with a different density—aligned with the string movement. Since this design avoids contact with the guitar top, it allows the top to vibrate freely and offers a softer, more responsive neck feel.
We construct the Amphion AC using premium-grade tonewoods that deliver exceptional tonal balance and long-term stability. Carefully select and laminate each wood layer, examining the tone properties of every top and back to achieve a refined and balanced sound.
We install a handmade ebony bridge with acoustic piezo pickup and a VF-01 Archtop floating pickup, providing extended tonal flexibility.
Our Fremediti acoustic/electric onboard control system enables the player to shape and manage the guitar’s unique amplified voice, making Amphion AC a truly versatile instrument.
Fremediti Acoustic-Electric System. A system designed to manage acoustic or electric sound selection and to explore unlimited blending possibilities.
It also includes an acoustic pickup face selector, separate tone controls for each sound type, and a master volume knob.
Our Fremediti titanium tailpiece suspension is a patented original design that improves the guitar’s playability.
The tailpiece includes a suspension system that absorbs a small part of the string tension when pressing the strings against the frets. This creates a "lighter" feel, especially noticeable during string bends.
The suspension mechanism does not touch the soundboard. As a result, the top vibrates and “breathes” freely, preserving the guitar’s acoustic character.
In addition, the system absorbs part of the structural stress caused by bending. This protects the delicate materials and construction used in acoustic instruments.
We machine the Fremediti tailpiece from titanium alloy. This material adds stability, reduces weight, and delivers a brighter, clearer sound.
Finally, an ebony cover with an exotic top veneer enhances the classic look of the guitar.
Fremediti traditional tailpiece. We handcraft our traditional ebony tailpiece with a special design and integrated grounding system.
This feature eliminates the hum of pickups in guitars with wooden bridges, such as our archtop and hollow models.
In addition, its design enhances stability and preserves the natural character of the instrument.
As a result, it offers a clearer sound and more reliable performance on stage and in the studio.
Fremediti Piezo Bridge for our acoustic models (archtops & hollows). Height-adjustable ebony bridge with a specially designed undersaddle Fishman acoustic piezo pickup and a 1/8” ebony saddle.
The 1/8” saddle width helps achieve precise intonation by shaping the exact contact point for each string.
Pots Mounted to the Fingerrest. We discreetly position two mini pots under the fingerrest, keeping them entirely separate from the guitar top.
This setup preserves the top's free vibration.
Additionally, it maintains the classic aesthetic of our acoustic models (archtops & hollows) without introducing visual or structural interference.
Handmade laminated plates. We carefully select and laminate the wood layers for the tops and backs of our hollow and semi-hollow models.
Throughout the process, we check the tone characteristics of each plate.
We adjust their thickness and hardness to achieve a balanced tone.
Three-piece neck. All our guitars feature a three-piece neck.
This design increases stability and helps control the neck’s elasticity.
No pickup holes at hollow bodys. The on-board pickups install into holes made in the guitar’s soundboard. This process requires removing two sections of wood.
Such removal reduces the soundboard’s structural integrity and negatively affects its ability to vibrate freely. It also lowers the soundboard’s resistance to string tension.
To avoid this, we designed our pickups in a way that eliminates the need for holes in the soundboard.
Pickguard mounted to the neck. On the archtop and hollow models, we mount the floating pickup with the pickguard directly to the neck.
This setup avoids any contact with the guitar top and preserves its free vibration.
Our VF-10 Jazz pickup set delivers vintage-output humbucker clarity, even under distortion.
Description
The VF-10 Jazz offers impressive versatility and excels across a wide range of musical styles.
It combines an Alnico 5 bar magnet with a specially tuned coil wind. This setup produces glassy treble, tight bass, and slightly scooped mids, which help each note remain clear—even under high gain.
We hand-wind the VF-10 Jazz in our Fremediti workshop. It features a nickel bottom plate, a 2-conductor shielded cable, and wax potting for squeal-free performance.
Wooden Binding and Purfling. We aimed to offer impeccable aesthetics to our top-tier archtop and hollow models.
These models feature wooden bindings, multi-ply wooden purfling, and layered veneers and strips across every possible area.
We apply the same detailed craftsmanship to the f-holes, ensuring visual harmony and precision.
